What the Industry do from Antibiotics?

In our life when we hear about antibitics, we always relate antibiotics with humans. But the truth is not only humans are taking antibiotics.

More than 80% of antibiotics are given for animals for the rapid growth and to prevent from sicks caught from not clean environments. It's maybe sounds great but they are not.

Over the years there has been a significant increase in the amount of antibiotic resistance super-bugs and if you were to get ill, it could be very hard, even impossible to find a cure to recover.

When consumer reports tested chicken, it showed that two thirds of the chicken samples contained harmful bacteria, to make matters worse, more than half the bugs were resistant to antibiotics! Furthermore, some meat labels are not approved by the government and are even misleading, making the customer feel as though the product is perfectly healthy.

The good news is, some labels are honest and sell healthy produce, particularly labels which are organic. From this it could be concluded that some parts of the meat industry are willing to put aside the public’s health in order to make more money, whether this comes as a shock or not, is irrelevant, it is important to make sure you check labels before purchasing meat.
